Sorry guys, i know that this is discussion, but his thread became flooded by extremly amount of out of topic posts...we are few days before leaked picture come, but we are discussing about nothing . Every day, when i see 20 new posts here, i am full of hope that the leaked pictures finally came, but the posts have zero information value. The discussion about possible design of new DS has some logic several months before the release date, not just few days (maybe hours) before official announcement...

And now I've been hopeful because there's 21 new posts, but instead of leaked DS pics, I'm confronted with this post.....I'm just messing with you.

Ahh...my bad. Must be getting the two confused. It was following the instructions that just hurt my brain. Especially (or is this Megabloks and i'm getting confused again) the color changing dots that let you know what the new pieces were in each phase. I had to build a LEGO set afterwards for therapy!

The dots are Mega Bloks instructions. I'm with you on that one--totally confusing and unnecessary.

Do you take requests? If so, please have Jar Jar Binks' upper torso pop out from the cake every 5 days or so to keep us honest.

[legoverzamelen]

Great idea! Although I would prefer the 6210 Leia torso

I was looking the other day, and I realized I don't own a single Darth Vader minifig.  But I think I've got a Jar Jar laying around in a bulk lot somewhere.  As for Leia - yes, I do have Leia.

I like this idea.  I'm going to do some digging in the garage this weekend to get some "add-ons" out (including Jar Jar).  I have a couple of things I'm going to add starting this weekend.

Some forum members are now probably hoping even more desperately for the long awaited 75159 pictures to arrive before this weekend

Dude, no, it's so we don't have to see Jar Jar jump out of the Death Star.

I know  this is hypocritical but could we suspend posting until information/ pictures are released as I go on this forum thinking new info and it turns out to nothing.

How about Queen Amidala, then?

The Holiday Train got posted today.  The Rogue One trailer goes live tonight.  That's a lot of signs pointing to a reveal very very soon.

I predict it'll probably be some form of grey and spherical in shape... with one major flaw that will ruin the build completely.

Maybe it will have two lasers instead of one?

That sounds like the new Hasbro Falcon.

Not bad..........

I just want a hamster wheel with Jawas inside so the rebels can't blow up the reactor... again.
